Oct 19, 2026, 10:24 PMI learned about the existence of Lego trains two days ago.
I might be excited and or in financial trouble.

That one looked cool though, it has a track piece that triggers a landslide too right? I haven't seen that before, what do you think?

@Shivaekul The landslide bit is cool, but its a bit gimmick I think, its not something you want to trigger every pass round the track. It is good for demonstrating other bits you might want to create to trigger when a train passes tho.
The details on the mountain mine and cars are really good! I thought the set might be a bit mid, but it did come with the motor and hub and track so it was a decent deal. After building it I think its great! - Luke (Shiv)Shivaekul@infosec.exchangeOct 22, 2026, 8:54 PM
@starlily That was my impression from looking at the set, like it would be a lot for every time, but a fun play options at first and it seems like a cool capability to build on! Glad to hear that's what you thought too!
And okay awesome, glad to hear! The details are really what makes these sets!

Whoah. They have changed!!- Lily Starstarlily@mastodon.socialOct 20, 2026, 2:03 PM
@ohmu I guess so, the older ones used a powered track like other hobby trains, but the newer ones are battery powered.
